Sehwag Said many Youngsters have Done Well in IPL

Indian Premier Leagues Twenty20 format may not attract purists but selectors should consider IPL performance before picking the Indian squad for the tri series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan according to Virender Sehwag. The Delhi Daredevils captain said IPL has transcended boundaries to reach people in the furthest corner and so it would be wrong to completely ignore the players performance in the Twenty20 league. IPL performance should matter. Everyone is watching IPL. I’m getting SMS from England Pakistan West Indies all saying we are doing well. I think selectors should take IPL performance into account when they select the Indian squad Sehwag said Tuesday. According to him a number of youngsters have made their mark in the IPL and they should on a rotational basis be blooded. So many youngsters have done well in the tournament. For us Shikhar Dhawan has done well so did V Yomahesh and Pradeep Sangwan. India play a tri-series in Bangladesh they play Asia Cup in Pakistan and then there is Champions Trophy. A lot of cricket is to be played this year and I think selectors should on rotation give chances to the youngsters to play alongside the seniors he said.

Initially we were unfortunate to lose a few close matches but finally luck seems to have smiled on us and here we are in the semi finals. I think luck is a crucial factor and we are happy to be lucky Sehwag said. Asked which team he would prefer to face in the semi-finals Sehwag said any team. All four teams would be strong thats why they made it to the semi finals. Anyone can beat anyone now. All would depend on who plays better on the given day. On if his team would like to avoid facing the rampaging Rajasthan Royals in the semis Sehwag said they have done us a favour and we have to play them anyway in final if not in semi finals. Sehwag said the Daredevils main strength lay in the fact that they were not dependent on any individual to see them through. The best part about it is that we don’t rely on certain individuals to pull us out. Players like Dinesh Karthik, Ferveez Maharoof Glenn McGrath myself and Gautam Gambhir have won matches for the side. We don’t depend on a handful few he said. Sehwag also expressed happiness as the off colour middle order also hit form against the Mumbai Indians in their last league match here.
